The monumental elements in this song for me. Saiki's blink and stare before the change from back and white to colour. The hands of a spirit and a mortal finally touching. Then the orchestral style arrangement as a whole.
The songs already released earlier in the year are just Band-Maid awesomesauce! The six new songs are so tightly integrated and complex, it's going to take a Tokyo minute to assimilate. But I already love Forbidden Tale, and especially The One. 😉🤘 btw - We should all wish a "Good Luck" to Band-Maid's new self-run management company: Maidit, Co., LTD! Will they managing other bands, boost Cluppo and Maiko projects, or tour more internationally? Or maybe they will expand their business interest to other sectors of the music biz outside of Band-Maid. I believe Kanami wants to get more into composing, scoring and production. And as for Miku and Saiki, the sky's the limit for what they'll want to do in merch, fashion and art, etc.. Thx, Jake!
You need to start a comedy skit channel for your intros. And the Ladies have evolved to new heights of mastery. Plus the video is so full of symbolism, that I am still unpacking everything. I very glad of other commenters to help explain things I missed on my first, second, through 50th viewings.
Saiki wrote the lyrics thinking about the music or songs created in the past and saved from their disappearance thanks to the transmission from generation to generation and Kanami wanted to express her reflexion about life through her music. Strangely the two ideas come together. I shouldn't explain that I understood this song from watching the MV but it's kind of true. I preferred another song from the Epic Narratives album for an MV. But I was wrong. One of the most beautiful MVs I have ever seen. Thanks Jake.
Great job, Jake! Really glad @kitsunedao3895 posted that Barks interview excerpt, it helps a lot in getting some of the motivation and feelings for a song that Kanami plotted so carefully. Like the stuff you mentioned about the through lines reaching across the "ups and downs" (as Kanami called them). The harmonies; that piercing note that could have gone on to be a solo; the mood swings. I'm still taking it all in.

To this day, I don't understand why you don't have a hundred times more subscribers. You are humorous and a very good analyst, many times already!
🙏👋
Great analysis, especially noting things like the color saturation. Definitely a song that takes multiple listens to wrap your head around.

Nice intro,Jake! 😄
It probably took 3-4 listens for me to really hear most of what is going in this song. The Maids are such pro songwriters! 😎🤘
